FAQs

All exhibits entered at the Royal Melbourne Show must be registered in a recognised Australian Herd Book of their breed and have a background of at least five recorded generations of their breed. You can find out more by reading the entry booklet.

For the ease of entry and benefit to exhibitors the visual NLIS and registration certificates will not be required at the time of entry. However registration certificates of exhibits will still be required for inspections at the Royal Melbourne Show.

An animal can be entered in the All Breeds Elite Dairy Heifer Show OR the Dairy Youth Handlers Classic, OR BOTH. If an animal is entered in both competitions, it can be led by different handlers in each, or the same handler in both. One entry fee per animal is applicable. If an animal is entered in both the Show and the Classic, only one entry fee is payable.
